"Light of Day, Day of Darkness" is the second (one-track) studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band, Green Carnation. The album was composed, written and arranged by founding member Terje Vik Schei (a.k.a. Tchort). It was released by The End Records on January 8, 2001. It is composed of a single 60-minute track. Also, the album was largely inspired by Tchort's son's birth.

Musically, "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" is pure progressive metal. In this album, the band combines many different instruments, not commonly used in metal, to create an original soundscape. It is said that 600 different samples were used in the editing of the song.cite web | url =http://www.theendrecords.com/label/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=38| title =Green Carnation (Norway)| format =HTML| publisher=The End Records| accessdate =2006-04-23] The album shows some death metal twinges from their roots with Kjetil Nordhus occasionally using death growls and Anders Kobro implementing occasional blast beats as well.
